Oscillococcinum is Boiron's homeopathic flu remedy sold as small sweet-tasting pellets in single-dose tubes. It is taken at the first sign of chills, body aches, headache or fever, and the label allows use from age 2. It contains no active drug, only highly diluted Anas barbariae plus lactose and sucrose, so it does not treat the cause of flu and evidence for benefit is weak. Buyers who already use homeopathy rate it highly for convenience and taste; shoppers wanting proven symptom relief should look at real antiviral or fever-reducing medicines instead.

Ratings are very high, and most buyers are already homeopathy users who keep it on hand through flu season. They praise the quick-dissolving pellets, mild taste and single-dose tubes. Sceptics say it did nothing for their flu and question the dilution.
